Clerics of the Kiev Patriarchate secretly pray in UOC churches, – publicist

Publicist of the portal "Religion in Ukraine" Denis Targonsky admitted that his friends from the Kiev Patriarchate secretly from their relatives go to churches of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

"My friends were baptized with us (in the UOC – Ed.) and got married so that none of the relatives knew a thing and baptized children, although the whole family goes to the KP," he wrote on his Facebook page (author's grammar is preserved).



Targonsky made this recognition in the comments under his message on Facebook, where he advertised his article on the "Religion in Ukraine" about inter-confessional disputes among representatives of Ukrainian Churches.

The "Religion in Ukraine" portal is known for its aggressive policy towards the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
